An Expensive Hobby: Gary Minchew's VLCIA parting speech

What Gary Minchew said at the end of his last Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA) meeting as a board member:

He said he's brought over 200 jobs a year to the area. He also said he organized getting the 1 mil of dedicated tax money for VLCIA.

Minchew refers to Crawford Powell (pictured here listening to Minchew). Powell was on the VLCIA board when Minchew joined, and Powell is now on the Lowndes County Commission.

[Question]

And the only City Council member that voted to re-appoint Mr. Minchew to the Industrial Authority was James Wright, who is often seen getting in and out of Mr. Minchew's truck at various locations, but never in the parking lot at City Hall.

Would you please call me if you have any information about a business relationship between Councilman James Wright and any former or present VLCIA Board Member or employee? Thank you,
